Fibroblast growth factor 23 and left ventricular hypertrophy in dialyzed versus nondialyzed children with chronic kidney disease
Serum FGF-23 levels were significantly increased in dialyzed children compared to nondialyzed children. FGF-23 levels were significantly correlated with serum phosphorus levels, confirming the role of FGF23 in phosphate homeostasis. In addition, there were significant positive correlations between FGF23 levels and LVM, LVMI, and RWT, reinforcing FGF23's role in assessing the association with LVH.
